      Good Benefits, Political Problems - Member Of Technical Staff Viasat Employee Review

      Pros

      Viasat's compensation package seemed fairly generous with good health care. Employees that worked hard could be reasonably certain of getting a raise and more RSU's each year. Some of my coworkers were delightful to work with.

      Cons

      Viasat's different offices compete hard for resources and control of different projects. It was not uncommon to have a promising engineering project killed due to management politics. If you have a political manager, it can be difficult to advance your own career in the organization.

      Pros

      Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

      Cons

      Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
